I'm posting this here, because it's not for me to determine 'which is correct', the documentation and exam bullet, or the TT course. It would be an improvement if the guideline could be expanded and enhanced, however, in this documentation, regardless.
From the exam guideline description:
13.B | 1.3.3-sensory-info | Instructions provided for understanding and operating content do not rely solely on sensory characteristics of components, such as shape, size, visual location, orientation, or sound.
No combination of characteristics will PASS, as written.
Instructions is the focus of the guideline.
Nothing stated about the CONTENT using the characteristics.
NOTE: Focusing on Instructions as indicated seems to be insufficient to the actual scoring.
From the document:
How to Test:
Determine if the instructions using sensory characteristics provide details that allow content to be
located, identified, understood, and operated without any knowledge of its shape, size, orientation,
or relative position.`
No combination of characteristics will PASS, as written.
Instructions is the focus of the guideline.
Nothing stated about the CONTENT using the characteristics.
Error: No mention of aural / sound instructions.
Error: No mention of "visual location".
However, in the TT course, in the PASSES examples given, such as this one below, it contradicts the INSTRUCTIONS text. Content in a data table is not INSTRUCTION, it's a data point, or result.
Passing examples
Example 1
A schedule of autumn activities uses color and shape to distinguish the time of each event. A table of the day's events lists times across the top row and each activity in the first vertical column. The cell corresponding to the time of a particular activity has a gold background color and diamond-shaped glyph so it can be identified by color and shape. Because shape alone is not used to identify the time of each activity, testers should mark 1.3.3-sensory-info as PASS.`
Error: IF sensory characteristics is INSTRUCTIONS focused, then this example DNA because it's looking at the data, not instructions.
Error: Entertaining the possibility that data could be treated as Instructions AND that color is not supposed to be excluded for Instructions/13.B (color is checked in 13.A, but the "instructions" text alters meaning in a way that could still include it for 13.B, technically), IF No combination of characteristics will PASS, then this is FAIL.
Error: Failing exam because instructions rely on color in 13.B due to guidelines in Course.
